Everything Book Fair!

Our Book Fair runs from Nov. 30 - Dec. 11. We are SO FORTUNATE to have Megan DeLong and her hardworking Book Fair team, who have creatively and thoughtfully planned a virtual book fair for our Underwood community. Like everything else this year, the format is new, but there are many of our traditions intertwined. As always, the goal of the Underwood Book Fair is to encourage the love of reading in our school family. 

Please share the Mission Possible Book Fair 2020 website with your students and families - bit.ly/UnderwoodBookFair2020.    There are fun activities that involve staff members, students, and families. (Hint....need something for your last week of electives? Check out the "Just for Fun" and "Moonlight Reading" activities.) 

For detailed information on creating your teacher wish list, participating in Moonlight Reading, and other fun activities - Mission Possible Book Fair 2020 Staff Info

Please contact Megan (blumeg3@gmail.com) with any questions.
